Happy Tuesday! Today I thought I’d share some of my favorite ways to alter fabric using color with you. There are so many ways to alter fabric each with it’s own unique outcome. I really think it’s amazing how a color change can make a basic fabric look totally unique and fashion forward.
Often we think of tie dye when we think of dying fabric and I think that can turn many people off the idea, but you’d be amazed at the cool colors and patterns you can get with dye, tie dying or otherwise. Dye is also an inexpensive way to alter or upgrade a plain fabric, here are a few of my favorite dying and fabric painting techniques.

It’s finally September, now you can officially have pumpkin spice everything, get those sweaters out, and of course wear lots of SCARVES! Scarves are a great way to bridge those crazy seasons where the weather can span 20 to 30 degrees in just one day and you never know how to dress! Today I’ve rounded up a few of my favorite DIY scarves from TIB and a few ideas I’ve found around the web.

Happy Saturday and Happy Labor Day Weekend!!! Here’s to a long weekend! It’s a great time to make something fun and now that’s it’s September the gloves are off and we can’t officially put a pumpkin on everything and start thinking about Halloween, right? Ok, don’t worry I won’t go crazy, but I think fall is probably my favorite time of year. While there haven’t been any pumpkins on the blog just yet, and just in case you missed it here’s a little recap of what happened this week on TIB, grab your coffee and check out the fun projects.

I love a big colorful mixes of colors, textures, and metals when it comes to jewelry, and bracelets are the perfect place to wear all 3. This DIY Watch Strap Rhinestone Bracelet could not be easier to make or cooler to wear.
